What a wonderful discovery thanks to great reviews! We were warmly greeted and this place has a lovely, calm , relaxing atmosphere. Wait staff are friendly and very efficient and the food is fantastic! Goat cheese crostini, misto salad, beef cheek lasagna, flounder, honey cake, affogato, and house red! If you have not been, book a table and pay them a visit. All fresh and cooked to order so sit back and relax and enjoy the experience. Simply wonderful and highly recommended!

The service and food were stellar - thank you Schaffer for making our first experience at Bettola so good and memorable! The specials were fantastic (lasagna and sea bass) the bruschetta one of the best I've ever had, and the limecello drink so tasty it was dangerous. It's a hole in the wall bistro (as their signage says) but absolutely where you should come for Italian well done and an intimate dinner setting with great service. My husband and I can't wait to come back.

Don't let the strip mall location fool you, this place is a small delight! Excellent service, atmosphere, drinks and, most importantly.. amazing FOOD. We went with the specials (short ribs and black cod) and we need to come back for the lasagna. We also had the Brussel sprouts (so tasty and crispy) and they also brought us fresh bread with olive oil and balsamic oil - classic and yummy. We ended up getting the highly recommended honey cake which was light and delicious - a great ending to a big meal.

Amazing food and outstanding service! The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting. Everything I ordered today was so delicious that I barely had time to snap a photo before diving in. A special thank you for the complimentary treat from the chef for our little one, it was such a sweet gesture. We’ll definitely be back soon!
